Basketball Overload - Google Maps Game
Way too much NCAA Tournament going on. Need something else to do around here. So let's play a game. Someone posts a screenshot from Google Maps (or Earth) with no overlays and no filename giveaways. Everyone else has to figure out where it's from.
First one to correctly guess puts up a new one. Note that the location must be a well-known one. The object isn't too stump everyone by posting Rosebud Lane in Barftard, West Virginia. Everyone cool? I'll start with an easy one to get the ball rolling. |

Fun sounding game. I have no idea on this one, tho. Kindof looks like a university. I dunno, St Mary's College?

A University looks like an ok guess. There's a baseball field at the bottom, which tells me it is likely American. Don't see anything else obviously identifiable. A football stadium might be out of the shot.
Anything else we can pick up from the pic? |

Well, it's Jim, so my guess would be the University of Michigan.

I think the monument or whatever with the funky sidewalks in the lower center has to be a decent clue, right? Tho, I'm not entirely sure what it is.

Looked at all the places Jim has been associated with in the past (Durham, U of MI, Brighton). Nothing matches... Tried seeing if there was a campus with alot of light blue buildings, but was coming up empty.
That water looks really blue though so, can't be the East Coast.

I'm not seeing West Point, plus the Hudson in google maps seems covered in algae.

It's not West Point, but I had to check to make sure. The rail line on the opposite side of the river would be right.

I don't think it's West Point. I checked in Google Maps, and I couldn't find an image that looked like that.

It's Dartmouth. I don't know how I got that on my first guess. Figured it had to be small with the lame looking athletic facilities.

Yep, Dealey Plaza. Although, the Book Depository is in the picture, so can't argue that one.
